In the poet's words which project a clear image of the ghetto
environment and evoke the introverted feelings of a community
exasperated by its situation and their ultimate solution for
escape, came their denial and confused ideology. "In my hand, there
is a gun. Deep, deep in my heart there is revenge." The cry is
agonizing, stained by frustration. It is the reflection of a
society warped by social injustice, of minds poisoned by revenge.
As a nation, our conscience is pricked by the poet's scorching
words. We are moved by the embarrassing plights of our brothers. We
are touched by his grief in "Unemployed" concerned for his welfare
and future, a dark illusion. We travel through his mind to
spiritual world and hear his questioning prayer, "How Long I Pray."
As he unravels his mind, we are engulfed in his humane nature, we
hear his talk about his "Friend" then we are wrapped up into
romanticism. We perceive his erotic desires and feelings in "My
Woman." Indeed, we can see variety of its theme and conclude this
is someone having experienced life in its fullness. This book of
poems comes at a time when our nation is once again undergoing a
transition, and will no doubt serve as a stimulant to our minds.
Its theme and message will at the most evoke that humane nature
deep within us, motivated to help someone from a miserable
condition, now that we are aware of it. Invariably, the aim of the
poet is to garner this response to this critical problem, which he
himself has experienced over time.
